I notice that people sometimes get a little bit embarrassed about the stores they shop at, whether it be for clothes, food, or whatever — embarrassed enough that they won’t tell people where they shop. All of which I think is a bit silly, but I suppose its entirely understandable.

Obviously, I have no qualms about such embarrassments, especially since I’m hiding behind an anonymous Internet handle. So, here’s a list of places where I shop for my goods:

Clothes

  • Ross
  • T.J. Max
  • Various outlets in the middle of nowhere

Shoes

  • Can’t recall the last time when I bought new shoes

Food

  • Albertsons
  • Target
  • CostCo
  • Fast food (heart attack one of these days)
 DVDs

  • My sister’s house
  • $1 DVD Rental on Edinger and Harbor

Books

  • Library
  • Half.com

Computer Stuff

  • Newegg
  • Anandtech forums

Misc Stuff

  • Target
  • Wal-Mart

Mmm... heart attack...When compared to my spending trend via Mint.com from a recent month, things seem to align pretty much with what I’ve listed above.

The majority of transactions were food related, and sadly, many of them are fast food purchases. I blame the recent Chipotle-binge on Atish and the rest of the gang at Mint.

(If you’re wondering about the large transactional amount for the month, ignore it as it’s being skewed highly by the purchase of plane tickets).

So yeah. That’s where I shop. Clothes from off-price retailers; food from warehouse club; and home supplies from one of the largest retail outlet with the occasional questionable business practices.

Feel free to share.
